Your care routine decides how long your hair weft and micro weft stay soft and glossy. The routines are simple, but they need to be done regularly.
Brushing
- Always start at the bottom and work your way up
- Hold the weft in place with your other hand
- Use a soft brush made for hair extensions, such as our extension brush
- Brush twice a day
This is the most important routine of all. Tangles that are left in become hard and wear on both the attachments and your own hair.
Washing
- Use a sulphate-free shampoo
- Massage your scalp with your fingertips, not your nails
- Don't rub the lengths
- Conditioner only on the lengths and ends, never at the attachments
- Rinse thoroughly
How often?
Every five to eight days. Use a leave-in between washes and don't wet your hair unnecessarily – moisture trapped at the attachments is what does the most damage.
At night
Sleep with your hair in a loose braid, use a satin or silk pillowcase, and never go to bed with wet hair.
Styling
- Always use heat protection
- Low to medium heat
- Work in small sections
- Finish with a little hair oil on the ends
Products
Moisture is the foundation: sulphate-free shampoo, a moisturising conditioner, leave-in, hair oil on the ends and a hair mask about once a week. Our hair care bundles and KIS Haircare work on both your own hair and the hair extensions.
How can you tell the routine is working?
- The hair feels soft
- The shine lasts for several weeks
- The wefts sit securely
- No recurring tangles at the attachments
If it starts to feel stiff at the attachments even though you follow the routine, it's usually a sign that it's time for a move-up – not that you're doing anything wrong.
